The Lost Zabini Twin [Pansmione]

Chapter 5

I didn't plan what I will write so I'll see what comes out!

Enjoy!

"Miss Granger, are you ready to find your true self or do you want to live in the darkness forever?" 

This time, Hermione didn't hesitate and answered forcefully: "I'm ready."

"Good." said the Sorting Hat in her mind before shouting out loud:

"SLYTHERIN!" 

The whole hall grew silent and Hermione sat there, shocked, trying to figure out how her life could have changed so drastically.

Then she heard clapping from the Slytherin table.

The brunette narrowed her eyes to see who it was and was surprised to see that it was Blaise  Zabini, soon joined by Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson.

After staring at them for a few seconds, Hermione stood up and looked at Professor McGonagall who was staring at her in shock before a thoughtful look crossed her face. 

Hermione made her way to the Slytherin table and sat down at one of the only free places, next to Blaise Zabini and in front of Pansy Parkinson.

The trio looked at her with different expressions. Zabini looked thoughtful and was often glancing towards his mother who was doing the same. Malfoy was watching her with disdain while Parkinson was looking at her with curiosity.

Hermione locked eyes with her, then blushed for an inexplicable reason and quickly looked away.

When Pansy saw that, a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes and her little smile turned into a wicked smirk. 

~Time skip~ While dinner was coming to an end.

∞ Hermione's POV ∞

Merlin! I can't stay here a minute longer!

My life just changed drastically and I still haven't had the chance to be alone! I really need to get away from all these judgemental stares.

I didn't even looked towards the Gryffindor table yet. I don't want to see the looks of disgust on the faces of my friends.

What if Ginny decided that I am not worth it, now that I am a "filthy Slytherin"?!

And what about Ron and Harry?! 

I really need to write them a letter as soon as possible.

I need to be the one to announce it to them otherwise they will think that I wanted to keep it a secret from them. 

I made my way out of the Great Hall, earning a few odd looks, and got to the Owlery. I  quickly grabbed a quill and a parchment to write the letter:

Hey guys!

I'm writing you right after dinner as promised but I have way more to tell you than I expected.

First of all, Luna and Neville are also back this year and when they came inside mine's and Ginny's compartment Luna and Ginny locked eyes before Ginny quickly looked away, BLUSHING! 

Our little sister is growing up!  ;)   And faster than us all since we don't have a lover yet!  :/

Anyway, what was more important is that, before dinner, Professor McGonagall announced that, while he was still here, Professor Dumbledore left something to the future headmaster/headmistress. In a letter or something, he asked me to be resorted!

ME! 

And guess what, I was resorted in Slytherin! 

I think it has to do with the secret...

I miss you guys and I hope you won't hate me!

Your best friend,

Hermione.

After rereading it, I attached it to an owl before sending it outside.

I really hoped that hey won't hate me...

I was going to go to the Gryffindor dorms but then I remembered. I am not a Gryffindor anymore.

No, I am a Slytherin.

Besides, the eight years have their dormitories in the donjons. I turned around and got back to the Great Hall, descending some stairs and arriving in the donjons. Then I stopped again.

I don't know where the eight year dormitories are exactly since I'd never been there before.

I looked around and saw a few paintings hanging on the walls. I approached one of them and coughed to gain his attention:

"Hello, umm, sorry to disrupt you but do you know where the eight year dormitories are?"

The man on the painting opened his icy blue eyes and looked at me:

"Well, well, well, who are you young lady? And why aren't you in the Great Hall?"

I shuddered under his cold stare but answered confidently none-the-less:

"I am Hermione Granger, Sir and I was a Gryffindor until I was resorted into Slytherin at dinner tonight. I couldn't stay there any longer so I wanted to go to the dormitories but I have no idea where they are. That is why I asked your help, Sir."

The man didn't answer and continued to stare at her until he finally opened his mouth again:

"Well, what a strange coincidence. I am Blaise Gregory Zabini, the great-great grandfather from Blaise Onyx Zabini, and the second wizard in Hogwarts's history to be resorted. I've been resorted from Slytherin into Ravenclaw. But from what I have heard about you and the war I can guess that you didn't want that, unlike me. Anyway, come back to talk with me whenever you want. I'll help you to find your dormitories."

After promising to come back and talk to the old wizard, I memorised his indications and headed towards the dorms.

What would you wanna do as job? (even if you already have one)

I would like to do something with books! (I want to do author only for a hobby)
